Use of video alone for differentiation of epileptic seizures from non-epileptic spells: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, with an estimated prevalence of 45.9 million worldwide.[1] Non-epileptic spells (NES) are episodic events that can present with symptoms similar to epileptic seizures (ES) but are not associated with abnormal electrical activity.[2,3] NES often refers to all events that are not epileptic seizures, including functional seizures (psychogenic non-epileptic spells, PNES) and other non-functional events such as syncope, migraine, sleep abnormalities, movement disorders.
